PMJI, >>DOS isn't ready for drives with capacities greater than 1 GIG ) They also suggested smaller partitions which is a pain I know. Are you serious? I have an external 4gig Micropolis that has worked fine up to now (knocking on wood)…is this large HD problem limited to Seagates (please say yes…)… As I think back, I do recall a couple times when it made those "grinding noises" on boot up (double ouch) but 90% time cool and quiet. I only have 2 (2gig) partitions. Lydell P.s. don't have PAR yet so no continuous read…
